Rare Antique Chinese Export Silver Snuff Box/Vinaigrette, Mun Kee, Canton, c1870
Rare Antique Chinese Export Silver Snuff Box, Mun Kee, Canton, c1870. An interesting silver box with Chinese export silver marks with the style of the foliate engraving to the cover resembling Birmingham silver vinigrettes of the mid-19th century. It is later engraved’Lidia’ to the central cartouche on the cover which is centred between stylised chrysanthemums. The inside with gilt interior and heavy tarnish. If it was a viniagrette the grille is absent but with no sign no sign of break or damage. Good condition with typical antique surface wear. Dimensions: 3.5 x 2.2 x 0.8cm. My thanks to the Chinese Export Silver expert Adrien Von Ferscht for identifying the maker. This item is in the category “Antiques\Silver\Solid Silver\Boxes”.
